deep creek vs lake anna

[Anonymous]

I've done a few long weekend trips to Lake Anna with friends. We've always had a great time. Normally it's because we want to enjoy gorgeous views, drink wine, cook together and just hang out. A fire pit out by the water in the spring of fall is heaven. I love that you can get a really affordable rental RIGHT on the water. You can have beautiful views from every room in the house.

Now, I have never taken small kids there. But now that I have a toddler, I'd only bring her once I knew she could swim. I've also heard that the water is way too warm in the summer and is not refreshing at all. However, I've only been in the spring/fall and it's been wonderful.

I'd never buy a house there though, since rentals are so reasonable and plentiful. I'd find a house a you like and get a standing contract in place like a PP suggested.
